Goes without saying, but of course Dungeons involve people from the world too, and tie all the personal storylines together, you just get at them from different places. For example, Cadeceus features prominently in my specific storyline, then it continues and finishes that particular branch in the dungeon.

Yeah they all come together hell I'm sure there is more there I just haven't met yet in other races. It's super cool and engaging though.
GAF Guild, we're getting hammered in WvW lately. Lets pick it up. My guildies can't do everything.
When I was playing last night (in Ausland) there was a massive queue for EB all night, and then I tried queueing for one of the borderlands and insta-queued any one I selected, all of which were getting absolutely hammered by JQ. We really need to pick up our game there a little and get people going to the borderlands as well as EB.
I always go to borderlands. Best thing is just queue up for them all, go into whatever is open first.
Its pretty boring so far (level 42), I started just skipping the cutscenes because theyre so bad. The missions are below average to OK, there havent been any great ones yet and I have a lot more fun doing dynamic events with big groups
Check Amazon.com. That's where I bought my digital key from but that was before they stopped selling it in the official site.

I think the Amazon guy(Tony?) said they had like 1000 keys in stock the other day but they were going fast...
That's disappointing to hear. Maybe I will stick with the sylvari.
Yeah that's pretty much my plan from now on, still gotta explore 2 more of the borderlands anyway so I probably should do that. We were getting zerged hardcore on stormbluff borderlands last night though and there were barely any people at the 2 castle/towers we had. It was kind of depressing being on the defending side of that. I wonder if it might've been something to do with server area population, like JQ now having more people on during my play-time than we do or something.

I can say about the same for the humans. The dialogue is, IMO, awful, and the story feels weak. The missions themselves are pretty routine "Talk to this person/Help defend x against waves of y/slay x" tasks. The only reason I do my story missions is because of the rewards, which are typically pretty nice as long as you're keeping up level-wise.
You can tell if it's unbalanced, you'll have a buff to make up for server population imbalances.
I think the storylines merge into the same storyline halfway through. Because the things I'm doing right now aren't really norn related. I think you get 3 seperate personal story arcs mattering on your choices (one arc for each choice), then goes into the main storyline. The norn hangover personal story was pretty amusing.
Yeah it goes two personal choices (as a human: commoner, never joined circus) followed by an introduction to the three factions then your faction quest then they rejoin again later on for the final storyline. Each fork and final set of quests still have decisions to make which will change some of the missions that you do.
Ah damn, I didn't know that, is it for imbalances in each are of the WvW? I'll have to look out for it next time I get into WvW instantly.
I don't know how it exactly works. I doubt it's based on how many are in the borderland at a time. I just remember in beta when we were on hedge, we all had a buff for being the tiny shitty server.

Human and norn story stuff is so dull, try char, they are much cooler

always bet on non-human like chars.
Ah damn, then I doubt we'd get it on Stormbluff, because we're a pretty high population server.
Quoting myself for hopefully an answer :x
yup, got 80 and 79 in my bank

Feels like my Tailoring is going very slow. @_@
Most of them scale pretty well. I've done DE's solo with no prob.
I found cobalt as one of my first dyes, looks really good on heavy armor.
I love trident but only recently found a good spear, been loving the jab-jab-jab of the 2 skill.
I could swear I've found a piece of armor with a rune yet none of the attributes were lit up, was kind of confusing.
Curious about this, also not really sure what to sell of the items I have stored in bank. Are most people stripping worthwhile runes first then selling the equipment? Does the suggested price take into account the rune on it already?

What do you guys think is the best story between the 3?
Missing parents, dead sister or circus?
Yeah, that confused me as well at first. Basically, if you don't have it equipped it will show 0/x, unless you have another item with the same rune equipped. Once you equip it it will show 1/x.
Jesus omg. Doing WvW with all your utility spells unlocked and at max level is so, so fun. Small skirmishes are the best, I love playing my Warrior. Baiting out 2 dodges and then locking an enemy down with bull charge -> bola shot -> whatever the hell the rampage greatsword 2nd skill is is so, so satisfying. I kill mesmers and elementalists in one shot with it.
Currently using greatsword and sword/shield in WvW, I have a huge amount of mobility and crowd control with this setup. With the 5 second weapon swap perk, I can get around so fast and do so much damage.

The Norn one(up to lvl ~36) is quite boring. The Sylvari one seems to be the best so far, but like you I don't particularly like the looks of them.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I use trident because of the kiting. I love Guardian long range.
Whoa, you're playing on 10 year old hardware?

I will probably reroll and main Monk. I loved Monk in GW1. The problem is, obviously being a light class what sort of dynamic will monk have to have? Straight heals are not part of the GW2 methodology, and hand-to-hand combat would suck with light armour professions.
That is some harsh recoil.
Yea, googled a few, but wanna make sure that i follow the best(cheapest) one.
Ill probably 'actually' level cooking later once I have all the mats, but ill level it for my alt like this since, well, why not? Didnt know what else to have him craft since fine mats are so stupidly rare I really didnt want my alt competing with my main for fine mats

woah - that cooking stuff is crazy - do you guys think it would cheapen my gw2 experience if i tried out the 1-400 cooking guide on my first character?
Might a little, but you downlevel, so as long as you go through all the zones that you would have done before, all it will do is make the game a bit easier for you - not cheapen it though. Ive died in a zone where ive been down-leveled
